Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sherlock Solitaire at none against Finished!'s shown. Sherlock Solitaire also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Finished!'s advantage is ratings volume (311 vs 6) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
